She says that there is a high market demand for Darag Native Chicken and testifies that, “Sa Darag, may buas damlag.” Truly, there is a bright future for those who raise Darag Native Chicken.
Research on Darag Native Chicken started at West Visayas State University (WVSU) way back in 1985 and continues to be the focus commodity up to the present time. Most of these researches were done with the funding and technical support of DOST- PCAARRD. Consequently, the knowledge and technologies generated from these studies were already translated to extension activities provided to different stakeholders. In fact, PADABA is a recipient of technical assistance coming from WVSU.
